Always up for REACH customs!

Generals with conkers. They're aggressive as hell, chase you when you duck behind cover, and fire those things like they're plasma rifles without ever having to reload.

Rangers were made disappointingly easy to fight in Reach. They use their jetpacks like Brutes in H3 use their jump packs, and don't fly around and attack you from the sky like H2 Rangers, which were dual wielding terrors.

Nope. Honour guard ultras.

The ones with the white armour when you have all the skulls activated... they're a bloody nightmare!

Ultras. They have plasma noob tubes for hands.

Yes, this is the best answer I can think of.

Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo 3 ODST > Halo Reach > Halo CE

Based on campaigns.

Spec-ops suck in general
Yep. Play Halo CE specops. Play Reach specops. Compare. Mind=Blown.

Perhaps.

Generals are almost purely aggression.
110% If they're 100m from you, they will run cross map just to smack you :/


Excuse me, but I found the Halo CE spec ops to be incredibly easy to kill?

OT Ultras, especially those damn drop pods

Ultras. They're badass, they're challenging, it feels great assassinating them. And they can show surprise. It's fun dodging their concussion rifle shots and I wish they could pull out swords like in Halo 2. When they throw plasma grenades, they certainly look like commanders. And some Ultras have armor lock!! Their helmets resemble Councilors. These guys know how to play aggressive/stealth.

Posted by: And Im Here TooNone of them are "hardcore". It's the sheer numbers that are difficult; individually, none of them pose any real problem whatsoever.It's the support that's the problem (Grunts, Jackals, etc.).

When a zealot can take two full clips from a FRG and still have shields left, you know they're BA.
Mythic Zealots>Mythic Ultras.
You mean BS.

Health =/ skill because that's an illusion. They last longer so they have more opportunity to show off their moves.

The Generals with the swords. I committed suicide so many times on them

Ultra's. Hence the name.

Higher ranks are always just damage sponges, especially with Mythic/tilt on.

This.

Also, their sword skills aren't very impressive. They can't reach you if you're on higher ground. They chase you to the bitter end, falling to their death. And their sword animations lack the charisma of their predecessors (H2 Ultra Elites).

*sigh* Halo: CE specops are clad in pure black. They are agile and stronger than most elites. The stealth elites are what you're probably thinking of. In reach they decided to combine the two to create what I would regard as an embarrassing excuse for a special operations troop.

Halo knowledge. I hope it has enlightened you.

Zealots are rare and pretty strong too
They're not rare, they just appear in certain spots in the campaign.

OT: IMO the Ultras' are by far the most hardcore.

  • 12.09.2011 2:19 PM PDT

Ultras. They are a really fun to fight and are challenging to fight. They also look bad ass.

  • 12.09.2011 2:21 PM PDT

I Miss Halo 2. 11/9/04 - 4/15/10

At first I was going to say Zealot but it's defiently the Ultras

  • 12.09.2011 2:24 PM PDT

I guess my previous posts didn't exactly say which Elite was the best. Hats go off to the ultras. Their amazing shields and weaponry surpass generals. Also with stronger shields, they are dangerous with the energy sword.

Maybe it is the whole LASO thing that scared me to death of these ranks, but they really do exhibit special skills and assets even on heroic.

Yea, well said. The fact that they move non-stop spraying concussion projectiles at you is pretty scary sometimes.

Santa Claus must be stopped! He is a menace who is not only guilty of billions of counts of breaking in entering, but also runs an illegal sweatshop of midgets forced to work for no pay using stolen materials to make gifts that infringe on every company and manufacturer around the globe, causing world wide economic disasters. He is to be taken dead or alive!

Depends on what difficulty, and if we have skulls on.

But in most cases its usually either a ultra or a general(The gold ones that carry swords, not sure if they're gen's)

All the more reason to fight them. AI manipulation is much more tougher in Reach than any other Halo but if I had Reach, I'd be finding all sorts of strategies to isolate them and destroy them, just like I did with Halo 2 and Halo 1 (Goldies).

Ultras don't chase unless your shields are down or they have a repeater/sword. These results aren't really tested, just things I've noticed over time.

Either way they're a force to be reckoned with.
